Esperanto

There is a painterly quality to Esperanto, the way its green markings streak through vivid red with green markings petals gives each bloom the look of an impasto brushstroke, deliberate and alive. Flowering in April to June, it suits borders and cutting gardens equally well. In a vase, the unusual green markings make arrangements look as though they were put together by someone who really knows flowers. On still mornings in April to June, its fragrance carries across the garden, an invisible quality that makes this variety something to seek out and remember. Dutch grown and hand selected for size and vigour, Esperanto arrives ready to perform. Grown in the bulb fields of the Netherlands, where the craft of bulb growing has been perfected over centuries.
